Question
To ask the Scottish Executive how it aims to ensure that looked after young people receive adequate levels of care and support on leaving the care system.
Answer
We are committed to improving the quality of provision for the throughcare and aftercare of children and young people looked after by local authorities. A working group has been examining how local authorities can best provide a one stop shop approach for advice and assistance to care leavers. Their final report is due to be submitted to me in the near future.
